Poster for the movie Das verrückteste Auto der Welt

Superbug – The Craziest Car in the World (1975)

It’s another road rally for Jimmy Bondi (Rudolf Zehetgruber) and Dudu, in Switzerland, where Dudu’s ability to fly comes in handy. At stake this time around are a hotel (whose one employee occupies a variety of roles) and an orphanage (on whose behalf two nuns, one played by Zehetgruber’s wife, Kathrin Oginski, enter the race). The formula is a little tired, and not all the sequences intended to amuse work out that way. Pleasant enough for a viewing by fans of the little Beetle, but otherwise this entry in the series, originally titled Das verrückteste Auto der Welt, can be skipped.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 460 for 2021.
